Tammy Abraham scores a hat trick and scores his own goal with Chelsea hammer Wolves | Soccer

It was supposed to be a holiday for the Wolves, who were celebrating the 130th anniversary of their first game here. Instead, a new hero of Chelsea's goals stole the show, as Tammy Abraham made his first hat trick for the club after Fikayo Tomori started the rout by opening his own account with a superb distance kick. The late goals of Romain Saïss and Patrick Cutrone encouraged the hosts and brought some satisfaction to Chelsea. Mason Mount restored part of it by scoring Chelsea's fifth goal.

The dear old Molineux has been a fortress for Wolves for most of the year. The home team has not been beaten in any competition since January, but at half-time it was irrelevant. They were 3-0 and risked an even worse aggravation.

For Frank Lampard, the first half was a delight, his team showed a defensive improvement before conceding a series of goals. Both managers had taken steps to repair the defenses fleeing for this game but only one was overseeing the progress.

Lampard, whose team has conceded nine goals in their first four league games, has made changes to address his team's weaknesses and to reflect the strengths of the home team, with Chelsea reflecting the backward formation of his team. host. Kurt Zouma was demoted to the bench as Tomori and Andreas Christensen formed the rearguard with Antonio Rüdiger, making his first appearance of the season after a knee injury.

The result was a solid Chelsea side and, just after the half-hour mark, an amazing bonus, as Timori pulled out of the defense to make a great shot in the top corner of more than 25 meters. The ball had fallen on him after Diego Jota pushed him to the foot of the mount, near the right wing, and Nuno Espírito Santo blamed his players for giving Timori as much time to measure a nice shot .

Worse followed for Wolves while three minutes later, Timori advanced again and sent a low pass to Mount in the box. When Mount fell under a challenge, the referee signaled to play and Jesus Vallejo accidentally helped the ball to Abraham, who managed a nice pass at eight meters.

This two-goal volley was not clearly in the state, as for the first half-hour, it was a difficult affair, characterized by a midfield block and imprecise passes.

Willian was the first to find an opening in the home defense, but he crushed the bar from the edge of the box, while the Wolves' main threat came from Adama Traoré, the panicky speedster on his left. Chelsea almost every time. Raul Jimenez was leaving one of his centers. Later, Traoré rushed to the field and made a nice pass to Jota, which was closed by Andreas Christensen before he could shoot.

The wolves have continued to show an unusual irregularity that raises the question of whether their efforts for the Europa League are already starting to wreak havoc. Whatever the cause, Abraham did not want to forgive their laxity. When Marcos Alonso broke through a center on the left, Abraham overtook Conor Coady and passed a motionless Rui Patricio. In the meantime, Nuno had gone crazy.

Zouma was introduced for the second period in place of Rüdiger, who seemed to be struggling towards the end of the first period with Lampard's only negative note. Nuno had a lot to think about. In the 54th minute, Abraham received a nice pass in front of Jorginho and sent the ball into the net. The finish and the way the striker stood up to the Wolves' last defenseman showed irreproachable quality did not help push forward the Coady campaign for England.

The wolves regained some pride when Romain Saïss approached to reach João Moutinho's corner. Kepa Arrizabalaga weakly tried to keep his head, only succeeding in pushing it into the net by the foot of Abraham, defenseless.

The goalkeeper was again fallible in the 85th minute when he had failed to score a shot from Matt Doherty, allowing Cutrone to fend off the ball closely at the first minute of his first goal for Wolves.

Chelsea had the last word when Mount captured a great pass from Michy Batshuayi and finished in style.
